Question

What are the correct ways of storing magnets?​

Answer 1

Answer:

All the ways have been written in the explanation below.

Explanation:

The different correct ways to store magnets are:

1) Store them in a dry place. Because otherwise, they can suffer from moisture degradation.

2) If you have different kinds of magnets like bar magnets, horseshoe magnets, etc you should store them separately to avoid demagnetization.

3) All magnets have a particular temperature above which they can get demagnetized. This is known as Curie Temperature. So always store them at local room temperature.

4) Protect them from mechanical shock otherwise they can crack or break.

Answer 2

Answer:

Magnets should be stored as mentioned below:

• Magnets should be kept in pairs, with opposite poles facing each other. A piece of wood should be used to divide them, and two pieces of soft iron should be placed across their ends.
• Keep a piece of iron over the poles for a horse-shoe magnet.

Explanation:

• Magnets lose magnetism when they are heated, hammered or dropped from some height.
• Magnets also have adverse effects on equipment. Precautions to be taken are Keep magnets away from cassettes, mobiles, television, music system, compact disks (CDs) and the computer.
